If there is no God, why bother to be good? As a matter of fact, there is no God. That is why we have no other recourse but to be good; especially to be good not for nothing, but to be good for something. Otherwise, there is little reason for our having lived. Poch Suzara

Sex education in our schools, colleges, and universities? What a ridiculous proposal. Parents at home, teachers in schools, professors in colleges and universities must first acquire sex education themselves. How can they educate our youth on the subject of sex, and the greater knowledge of the nature of sex, in all its complexity, when they themselves have been deprived of sex education when they were acquiring so-called education in our schools, colleges, and universities?

Jesus declared: “But those mine enemies which would not that I reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” Luke 19:27

Well for a Filipino like me - to slay the enemies of a Jewish son of a Jewish God so that he will reign in countries like the Philippines – no way should I be silly to do such a silly thing. Not even for the sake of gaining a silly life everlasting. I refuse to be stupid and blind especially stupid in blind faith. Poch Suzara

Conscience is merely the combined product of evolution and education. Obviously it is an absurdity to follow your conscience when reason tells you that you are the sick product not of evolution, not of healthy kind of education, but sick via revelation. -` Poch Suzara

We atheists have no faith; in fact, we have reason. Atheist do not believe in absurdities that encourages other atheists to commit atrocities. Indeed, have you ever heard of atheists hating and killing other atheists because they not believe in the existence of God? The Christians, the Jews, and the Muslims have not ceased hating and cutting each others' throats because to begin with, they all cannot agree as to what will happen to them after their throats have been cut.

Indeed, the leading cause of death in this world has always been God himself. Look at the day we are born. It is the day we begin to live in a dying body. There are more disease micro-organisms existing inside our body during birth than there are people on this planet.

In this connection, I entirely agree with Bertrand Russell. he wrote: "Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to end, nor do thought and love lose their values because they are not everlasting." Poch Suzara

Many people are so grateful to God for having been gifted With a “free will.” Unfortunately, these same people do not give a damn about something that is even
far more precious – having a “free mind.” Indeed, a free mind that’s able to formulate a powerful thought in order to change the useless ways of our world for
something more useful. Poch Suzara

Serendipity is the unexpected discovery of something wonderful not sought for. However, I love and enjoy more the opposite known as zemblanity – the unexpected discovery of something deplorable not sought for. There are more lessons to learn from zemblanity than there is from serendipity. Poch Suzara

According to Jesus, to be moral, a man must abandon his reason. He must force himself to believe that which he cannot understand. He must suppress, in the name of morality, any doubts that surface in his mind. He must regard as a mark of excellence an unwillingness to scrutinized religious beliefs to critical examination. Less scrutiny leads to more faith – and faith, Jesus declares, is the highest of virtues.
Indeed, “unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 18:3). Children, after all, are gullible. They will believe almost anything. Well, we Atheists have a better sense of morality. Ours is not a deadly, but a lively way of life. We do good because it is the decent thing to do, and not because we will be rewarded later in heaven after death. To begin with, there is no such thing as life after death. Indeed, atheism is not the destruction of morality; it is the destruction of superstitious morality. Likewise, atheism is not the destruction of the joys in life; it is the destruction of the belief that the joys in life can only be achieved in another world. Atheism brings these ideas down to earth, within the reach of man’s mind and heart for the sake of living the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
Atheism is not a mental disease; it is restored mental health – the greatest of man’s wealth - especially in a world gone mad with organized religions. Poch Suzara

It is, indeed, incredible how many people believe that God is all-mighty, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present, all-loving, and all-just, all-merciful, etc.

And yet, when they are confronted by an individual like me who does not believe in the existence of such a God – they immediately believe that I am either inane or insane; if not someone deplorable or despicable; or that I am a liar, a selfish moron, or some sort of a criminal.

They forget that atheism is a personal and a private matter. If there is a God – he should reveal himself directly to me via the Revealed Truth, and not revealed to meby the theologians who never know not whatever they are talking about. Poch Suzara

No one, but no one has the right to tell you what is the meaning or purpose of life. It should be your own responsibility, nay, your own adventure to discover for yourself such values.
There is something feeble, indeed, a little contemptible about the presumption that somebody else (parents as in the case of children), (teachers as in the case of students), (ministers as in the case of followers), and indeed, (God as in the case of adults), has the responsibility to give your life meaning or purpose.
Unless, of course, even if as you are already a grown-up man or woman you still wish to keep enjoying infantile pursuits for the rest of your life.
Life is hard; but knowing not how to live your own life is not only harder, but useless especially if it is devoid of self-direction stuck with indecision. Poch Suzara

If God was the first cause of everything and God Himself was part of that everything – who or what caused God to exist? Here, however, is a deeper question: who or what is God? Where did God come from? Since there was a "nothing" before creation, how did God manage to exist as a nothing before He created everything? Poch Suzara

I was born an atheist. I shall die an atheist. Now what if it turns
out that I am wrong? What if God does exists. Well, I have no objection,
no qualms about it, whatsoever.

My problem would be if
God turns out to be a Catholic, or Christian, or a Jew, a Muslim, or a
Hindu, or a Tao, or what have you. I will never believe or have faith in
such a mindless, heartless, and indeed - a good for nothing God - a
worthless supernatural being.

Never, I will I ever
love, worship, and adore a God created by men in their own silly image
and silly likeness. All the great men and decent women I have met in
world history never bothered to create such a silly monster called
"God." Poch Suzara

IF YOU steal small, you land in jail. If you steal big, you immediately qualify to run as a candidate for an elective government position. And when in government, if you steal bigger, you are promoted to a higher government position. In the meantime, look at the ongoing investigation of crimes committed by public officials. The investigation is not being done by policemen or by NBI agents, but by fellow criminals in or out of the same corrupt government.

Usually, the investigation goes on endlessly; except for one beautiful development. Via the priesthood industry, the criminals under investigation are forgiven by God for their sins and crimes. This is otherwise more known as Christianity than as a way of life in the Philippines. POCH SUZARA
